Hi Everyone

It's time for a fun fact

Fact: Covering less than 2 percent of the Earth's total surface area, the world's rainforests are home to 50 percent of the Earth's plants and animals.
Fact: Rainforests can be found all over the world from as far north as Alaska and Canada to Latin America, Asia and Africa.
Fact: Rainforests are found on every continent across the Earth, except Antarctica.
Fact: There are two major types of rainforest: temperate rainforests and tropical rainforests.
Fact: The largest temperate rainforests are found on North America's Pacific Coast and stretch from Northern California up into Canada.
Fact: Temperate rainforests used to exist on almost every continent in the world, but today only 50 percent – 75 million acres – of these forests remain worldwide
